icefox is the handle of Simon Heath, who keeps a personal wiki at wiki.alopex.li. The writing runs to programming-language design, systems programming, and the culture and economics of how software gets built and reused. Pieces read like wiki pages that argue a position — the ReuseLessSoftware post opens by admitting the title is clickbait and closes with "I'm just an idiot with an opinion. Discuss."

The live site is served behind an Anubis proof-of-work challenge, so a plain fetch gets the bot wall instead of the page; the ingested copy came from a Wayback Machine snapshot.

  • reuse-less-software (June 2026) — the argument that we now reuse too much software, and that vendoring every dependency is the fire-break against supply-chain attacks
